Welcome. Lot of good info here and like said, slantsix.org. I agree spend the for a real factory FSM, not a Chiltons. I agree, get it safe and go from there!
The slant ain't the fastest, just the most durable!!
It certainly seems durable. The engine overall was in great shape, the issues with operation of it were from a bad carb and improper intake manifold and vacuum leaks. Runs much much better now. I got a CD copy of the FSM as it was much cheaper, and am printing pages as needed.
